RESEARCH INTERESTS & BACKGROUND:
I started at Ohio State with Dr. Peterman in the Fall of 2016 after completing my undergraduate degree at Auburn University and Master’s from John Carroll University in Cleveland OH. During those formative experiences, I participated in a number of research projects including evaluating the herpetofauna assemblage differences between fire-restored long leaf pine forests and unrestored forests and understanding sexual selection in tropical poison frogs.
I started at Ohio State in 2016, and my dissertation asks questions related to landscape ecology, physiology, and climate change effects on montane Plethodontid salamanders. I’ve had the opportunity to work on numerous projects including wildfire effects on salamanders, stress physiology experiments, and a long-term mark-recapture study to understand how multiple environmental gradients across a montane system shapes the survival, growth, and movement of terrestrial salamanders. I have a broad interest in many ecological questions and organisms and seek to conduct sound and interesting science.
